Tadamon Crowdfunding Academy is funded by the Islamic Solidarity Fund for Development (ISFD), managed by the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB), and implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). The selected civil society organizations will take part in a training initiative within the program, which will equip them with the ability to secure funds using crowdfunding, an innovative and alternative fundraising method. These 18 civil society organizations were picked after a thorough assessment of their concepts and their potential to create positive changes within their communities. The concepts developed by these CSOs are geared toward implementing projects and initiatives that address the needs and challenges of their communities, with a particular focus on women and children. The proposed projects cover lots of important thematic areas including empowering women, environment and sustainability, fighting poverty, and improving healthcare and education, making a positive and long-lasting difference by working on these different challenges and finding good solutions for them.

The selected CSOs will create their crowdfunding campaigns through a combination of e-learning tools and in-person training, which will include instructional materials, presentations, assignments, and guidance from crowdfunding experts who are leaders in the field. Once they complete the CFA training program, all participants will have the ability to initiate their crowdfunding campaigns on local or international crowdfunding platforms.

We eagerly anticipate the growth of these organizations as they embark on their crowdfunding campaigns.
